Dianne Kennedy Cruttenden

Dianne Kennedy Cruttenden has been practicing Tapestry Weaving for over 50 years.

Dianne studied at Sheridan School of Design, and has apprenticed with Robert Kidd and Maximo Laura. Having first exhibiting at the Detroit Institute of the Art in 1971 she has gone on to exhibit in a variety of galleries and has been collected in Canada, U.S. and Europe.

Dianne has lived in the Canadian Arctic, in Niagara on the shores of Lake Ontario and on Manitoulin Island on the shores of Lake Huron. Her work is influenced by the intense colours and wildness of these beloved landscapes.

Now living in Elora, she enjoys sharing her passion for weaving by teaching at the Elora Centre for the Arts and various venues throughout Ontario.

Dianne is proud to be a member of the Woman’s Art Collective ‘Octarines’ and a member of the Elora Fergus Studio Tour since 2017.
